The binary failed in similar fashion first. So, I tried the src file. That build gave me these errors. Please ask for any input you need.

According to the output of SuperTuxKart, your video card only supports OpenGL 2.1 but stk needs at least 3.1, lower versions are unsupported.
If you think that your video card supports OpenGL 3.1 or better, please tell us your model. :-)

According to the output of STK, your video card does not support anything :P OpenGL version 2.1 is used by default, when we don't get any information about it from drivers. You also don't get information about drivers version, etc...

Try to run

glxinfo | grep Open

you should get something like:

OpenGL vendor string: NVIDIA Corporation
OpenGL renderer string: GeForce GT 635M/PCIe/SSE2
OpenGL core profile version string: 4.4.0 NVIDIA 340.76
OpenGL core profile shading language version string: 4.40 NVIDIA via Cg compiler
OpenGL version string: 4.4.0 NVIDIA 340.76

If you don't get something similar, then you don't have the drivers properly installed.

Do you have something specific in your system? For example non-typical window manager, resolution, multiple screens, modified xorg.conf ... It looks like we don't get information about screen resolution, and window can't be created at all:

Do you have this problem also with STK 0.8.1?

Also make sure that you don't have negative values for window width and height remembered in config.xml for some reason. Ideally try to remove ~/.config/supertuxkart directory.

By the way. Mariam Ruiz does not speak for the Debian Project. Some of
us users are having a helluva time with her and her notion of moral
content. If it were me, I'd tell her to go to hell. Checking here, she
doesn't even maintain the package.

Okay, I understend that your graphics drivers work. But we must find a way to reproduce this bug. If this is caused by for example window manager, then I could instal it on my machine and try to debug it. Otherwise it's really hard to say what's wrong because it works for most people.

At first please check:

  • Does Supertuxkart 0.8.1 crash for you in the same way? (is this a regression or not?)
  • Did you try to remove or rename ~/.config/supertuxkart directory? (maybe config.xml contains some invalid values). Or ideally attach your ~/.config/supertuxkart/0.8.2/config.xml file.

Hmm, your log file states: Creating directory(ies) '/home/ric/.config/supertuxkart/0.8.2/' and other first-time running messages (so it was a clean start), but still the message that "The window size specified in user config is larger than your screen!", which means we could not create an opengl context with any settings (STK tries a couple of different settings).

One other option to would be to try a vanilla irrlicht test program, just download the irrlicht package, and follow their instructions

I didn't notice log in your last commit, sorry about it.

Possible situation is that xrandr is not available in system for some reason (or has problems with some devices configuration (?)). Then we read display size and irrlicht returns values width: 0, height: 0. And we use these values for window size without checking if it's larger than 0 or not...

I added some additional checks, maybe it will allow you to run it at least in windowed mode:

The pure Debian maintained package works just fine. I love the barnyard

    (maybe config.xml contains some invalid values). Or ideally attach
    your ~/.config/supertuxkart/0.8.2/config.xml file.
    Yes, I did. I'll attach the file. Thanks!! I am running Debian Jessie,
    with all updates, and XFCE desktop. Everything is fully updated, but I
    am now running the latest nvidia driver straight from nvidia, since I
    had this fail with the Debian driver install for nVidia. They both have
    crapped out on me. .Should I delete the .config/supertuxcat directory
    again and re-run 9.0 and see if there is a config.xml file to send?? Ric

p/s strange the new .config/supertuxkart directory has a directory named
0.8.2 in it, and checking that out it has another config.xml file. So, I
copied it to config.0.8.2.xml so you don't get confused. I have attached
that and the stdout.log from 8.8.9 ...no error noted there.

bitch to build! I had no issues with my video setup however. Have you
all built using nvidia and the nvidia driver? To be fair, I will rip ou
the nvidia driver I installed, from nvidia (the .run file) and
re-install the Debian nvidia package again. Ric

Funny that I can run version 8 in full screen, but not version 9. Even the option for full screen is greyed out. Meanwhile I think I'll re-install the official debian nvidia packages again.

You won't be able to compile irrlicht 1.8.1 on current linux systems without patching it. Just don't care about it. You checked that STK 0.8.1 works for you and this information is enough.

It is possible that 0.8 version works for you and 0.9 doesn't work, because in current version we use xrandr for handling resolutions. Previous versions (and also irrlicht by default) use vidmode instead of xrandr.

No machine that uses nvidia handles xrandr well.

I personally have nvidia optimus laptop and I don't have any issues with libxrandr using bumblebee or nvidia-prime. It's even necessary to use xrandr application to make nvidia-prime working. Some people use nvidia directly and noone reported anything similar.

I will prepare simple application which should say if xrandr extension is available in your system at all or if the problem is in other place during creating resolutions list. You can also check if xrandr command typed in terminal gives you sensible output.

Vidmode implementation in irrlicht is rather poor (issues with multiple monitors, also with restoring resolution in some cases), but maybe we could use it as a fallback.

Please, try this:

and attach the output here.

It should be compiled using command:
g++ xrandr-test.cpp -o xrandr-test -lXrandr -lX11

If there is something wrong with xrandr, then it should say something more.

OK, got xrandr working. It's primitive as hell, right now, lacking a
really good gui conf tool. I disabled xaminera in order to futz with it.
But going back to configuring stuff by hand, editing config files, etc,
is not good for me. So, I am happy to just have it work in window mode
for now. You guys did a great job!! Ric

No need, I got xrandr working by disabling xinerama. Then it looks like
a bobsled ride to hell, on greased rails, to configure multiple
monitors. The last time I had to do all of that editing by hand for X
was when I installed Slackware from a stack of floppies, before RedHat
came out. I install lxandr and it only showed one monitor. So, I am
quite happy to have your windowed display. Thank you very much!! Ric

Main issue has been fixed - now STK starts when it doesn't have information about original screen resolution, so ticket can be closed.

We could use vidmode as a fallback for changing resolutions if xrandr was not found, but it's a separate task. I'm also not in favour of this idea because it would require additional work for good vidmode support.

Btw. Is this really an issue to configure multiple monitors in your system? I was always using simple script which was detecting my monitors configuration and was doing something like:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --output HDMI1 --auto --left-of LVDS1
Also Gnome should remember your monitors configuration. I don't know what about XFCE because I didn't use it longer time.

Oh heck, we're back to where it won't run, even just in windowed mode.
Same error again.

The patched version worked a charm. Someone else is noting the same
problem in the Debian list. Ric
